Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille EDP

Description

The fragrance that turned tobacco and vanilla into a modern luxury signature. Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille is the 2007 Private Blend release composed by perfumer Olivier Gillotin. A warm, spiced gourmand built on creamy vanilla, sweet tobacco leaf, cacao, and tonka bean. Reviewers consistently describe it as opulent, cozy, and unmistakably autumnal: think a dimly lit gentleman's club, pipe tobacco, and spiced dried fruit. It remains one of the most recognized and most imitated tobacco-vanilla compositions in modern niche fragrance.

Scent Character

• Sweet: 50%
• Smoky/Resinous: 25%
• Spicy: 12%
• Woody: 12%

Translation: a sweet, smoky-spiced gourmand. The vanilla-tonka-cacao sweetness leads, wrapped in warm tobacco smoke and dry spice rather than any sharp citrus or floral edge.
